A Perspective on Pluralism in Southern Maine: A Discussion Led by USM Faculty & Staff
2026-02-04 17:00 - 18:30 | Hannaford Hall — Abromson Community Education Center, 88 Bedford St, Portland, ME, 04101, United States
As our USM Forum on American Democracy continues, we turn our focus homeward. This evening brings together USM faculty and staff from across disciplines to explore how the principles of pluralism — as discussed in previous events with Eboo Patel and Raj Vinnakota — apply specifically to Southern Maine.
This discussion will ground national themes in the local context, inviting reflection on how diversity, inclusion, and civic cooperation show up in our region’s public institutions, education systems, and daily life. The panel will highlight the unique dynamics of our community while addressing how pluralism can shape civic engagement, policy, and belonging right here in Southern Maine.
Come hear from the scholars and educators who shape USM’s intellectual landscape — and join the conversation about building a democracy that works for all of us, starting in our own backyard.

This event is free and open to the public, and registration is required in advance.

Meeting friends for the event? Wander over the street to the Husky Brew in the McGoldrick Center for Career & Student Success for a drink, coffee, or bite before or after the event!

About the Forum
The USM Forum on American Democracy is a year-long public series designed to engage the University of Southern Maine (USM) and the broader community in thoughtful conversations on the foundations and future of a democratic society. Hosted by President Edmondson, the Forum invites multiple perspectives on timely civic topics through keynote speakers, panel discussions, and campus-wide engagement.

Of Sibyls and Source: Ranges & Ruptures is an exhibition of videos, textiles, installations, and live performances that investigate ideas surrounding oracles, land, community, mapping and geo-mythic space. Together, the artists tell stories and create experiences that invite alternative ways of being with each other and place.
Of Sibyls and Source: Ranges & Ruptures is a collection of work made in dialogue with the sites of Monti Sibillini National Park, Umbria, Italy, and Acadia National Park. These creative gestures tenderly explore the possibility in timespace for mountains to kiss, for springs to flow through each other, and for horizons to merge.

Thursday, February 5th:

12 pm onward De-Code Compliance performance by misael soto on the terrace in front of the Crewe Center

A bit about misael soto’s durational De-Code Compliance performance:
The Department of Reflection’s De-Code Compliance Team has been assessing publicly accessible outdoor areas since the Spring of 2021. Who does our public infrastructure truly serve and how are these dynamics visibly apparent in our common areas? How can we collectively better address these concerns? DoR’s De-Code Compliance Team conducts exploratory field research to find out the answers to these and other questions via alternative methods. The public is invited to watch and engage with us as we work. Findings are offered to related institutions afterwards.

5:30 – 7:30 pm Opening reception
6 pm Performance by Kristin Mariani in the exhibition hall
6:30 pm Performance by invited artist Firefly the Hybrid in the Arts Lab

Of Sibyls and Source is on view from February 5 to March 21, 2026, at the Crewe Center for the Arts Gallery on our Portland campus.
